This leads to burnout, stress, confusion, frustration, unhappy clients, bad work, unhappy freelancers, and everyone has to deal with the fallout.

I want to help you with this, because I care, and I’m tired of sounding like a broken record: Vet your clients better.

Illegal Internships, Working for Exposure, and other Bullshittery

I’m currently witnessing something I really hoped I’d never see on LinkedIn, but I’d be naive to assume it didn’t happen. Just because I have yet to witness it with my own two eyes, doesn’t mean it’s “fake news”.

In fact, it’s neither fake nor uncommon. It’s a wraith that permeates everything that business is, was, and will ever be. But somehow, I think we’re better than this.

I want to say that we, as a community, know very specifically that pale promises on the business nexus of the internet never go over very well at all.

I want to say that we, as a united group of entrepreneurs, business people, creatives, tech workers, employers, employees, etc, would know arguably the two most important tenements of business as well as we know where our own navels are:

1 – Time is money

2 – If you’re good at something, never do it for free

I want to discuss some tech myths, unpack them, and point out some ways we can — as techies and companies — rectify them.

Even though I’m attempting a more measured approach, you still need to buckle up, buttercups. It’s always a bumpy ride when I cut my teeth on some fake news and spit out the truth.
